First, I released Jetpack Photon for NextGEN Gallery, which extends the WordPress.com CDN capabilities in Jetpack to galleries built with the NextGEN Gallery plugin. I built this one after building Jetpack’s Photon module and noticing that NextGEN Gallery images weren’t benefitting from the Photon CDN.

Then, I enabled two-factor authentication on my CloudFlare account. CloudFlare uses a hosted service, Authy, rather than a local codebase, to handle the verification process using an installed app and a hosted API. Surprisingly, there wasn’t a WordPress plugin that integrated the service, but there is now: Authy for WordPress. It’s in use on this site, in fact.

On July 17, 2012, Facebook completely dropped support for the Share button. As a result, my Simple Facebook Share Button plugin no longer serves any purpose. I removed its functionality in version 2.1 and strongly suggest deactivating and deleting the plugin.

Thanks to everyone who downloaded it over the years. It’s been a good run (87,461 downloads as of today), but it’s time to move over to the Like button.
